AMO Quantum Error Correction Research Scientist, Quantum AI

Google Quantum AI is seeking a Research Scientist specializing in AMO Quantum Error Correction to join their team. This role is part of Google's mission to build a large-scale quantum computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. The position combines cutting-edge research in quantum computing with practical applications in error correction.

As a Research Scientist, you'll work on developing theoretical and numerical models for neutral atom systems, focusing on quantum error correction implementations. The role requires expertise in quantum physics, particularly in neutral atom quantum computing and Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics. You'll be responsible for creating models that can predict quantum error correction rates as platforms scale.

The position offers the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art technology focused on surface code error correction using superconducting quantum bit architectures. You'll be part of the Numerical Modeling team, whose mission is to develop comprehensive and accurate predictive physical models for device performance.

The role combines independent research with collaborative efforts, requiring you to work with other theorists to analyze quantum error correction codes through theoretical models and simulations. You'll stay at the forefront of AMO physics and quantum error correction developments, contributing to the research community through publications and collaborations.

Google provides a dynamic research environment where you'll have the freedom to explore new ideas while working on real-world problems. The position offers competitive compensation, including a base salary range of $161,000-$239,000, plus bonus, equity, and comprehensive benefits.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about quantum computing and theoretical physics to contribute to groundbreaking research that could revolutionize computing capabilities. You'll be part of a team working to unlock solutions to classically intractable problems and advance the field of quantum computing.
